When This River Rolls Over You

Ain't it a shame babe how your words fall in an empty place

No one to follow or to trace

No wonder you are like you do

Holding your change out you're wrapped up within all your cares

The waitress is stacking the chairs

And holding the notes to the tune

And all your precious stones

They won't help keep you afloat

Don't say you ain't been told

When this river rolls over you

Haven't you heard babe how the speechless are storming the stage

Carrying the cards that you've made

And lifting the tone of the room

Ain't it the way how when the cavalier is blocking the road

Resisting all things he's been told

And luring us out to the moon

And all the seeds you've sewn

Under this wait creek and groan

Don't say you ain't been told

When this river rolls over you
